Chapter 567: On the Eve of Departure

"Master, I'm back!"

As soon as Lingyun returned to Lingyun Town, Luo Yexi excitedly threw herself into his arms.

"Alright, alright, you're not a little kid anymore, why are you still acting like one!" Lingyun reached out and patted Luo Yexi's head.

"In front of Master, I will always be a little kid!" Luo Yexi rubbed against Lingyun's chest and muttered.

"Akame, Kurome, thank you for your hard work!" Lingyun said to the two, Akame and Kurome, who were following behind Luo Yexi.

"Compared to the missions we had in the Revolutionary Army, this mission was far too easy. There's nothing to be tired about!" Akame shook her head and said.

"Hmm, I think I should make a big feast to properly reward you all!"

"A big feast? Made by Master himself?" Hearing Lingyun's words, Akame's eyes lit up instantly. For a foodie, delicious food was the one thing she could never resist.

"Me, me, me, I want some too!" Kurome, standing to the side, almost jumped up. "I want your special cookies, Master!"

"I heard you all discussing what to eat from far away. Looking at this, is Lingyun cooking today?" The figures of Chen Jing and Su Wanyue also appeared in this place.

The two of them had just come out of the server room. During this period, they had joined forces to breach the computers of all the regional leaders in this world, placing all the information collected by Lingyun Town regarding the Five-Flight Society right in front of them.

These regional leaders were terrified by this data; they had never imagined that such a terrifying force was lurking by their sides, coveting their positions. Under these circumstances, a grand and vigorous purge against the Five-Flight Society was launched. With the joint suppression of many regions, the entire middle and upper echelons of the Five-Flight Society were almost uprooted. Added to the assassination activities of Akame and the others, the high-ranking members of the Five-Flight Society were wiped out in one fell swoop. Even if there were any survivors of the Five-Flight Society now, they could no longer stir up any trouble.

"Everyone has worked hard during this time. Now that things are over, I think it's time to celebrate." Lingyun said with a smile. "How about this, tell me what you want to eat, give me the names of the dishes, and I'll go prepare the ingredients now!"

Half an hour later, Lingyun looked at the long menu in front of him with a helpless expression. Before him stood Akame, looking at him with anticipation. Watching Akame act cute, Lingyun rubbed his brow with a headache.

"Fine, fine, fine, I know. I will make every single one of these dishes without missing a single one!"

Hearing Lingyun's reply, a big smile appeared on Akame's face.

"Brother, with so many dishes, it must be very tiring to make them!" Xiaona tugged on Lingyun's sleeve and asked.

"As for that, you don't need to worry!" Lingyun pinched Xiaona's cheek.

Subsequently, Xiaona witnessed a scene that left her dumbfounded: over a dozen Lingyuns appeared in the kitchen, and the long menu was divided among them, meaning each person only had to make a few dishes.

"Brother, what is this?"

"This is the Shadow Clone Technique I learned in a world called Naruto. Although the clones don't have much combat power, for something like just cooking, it's more than enough!" A sly smile appeared on Lingyun's face.

"Wow, Lingyun, you're cheating!" Chen Jing, who had snuck over to check on the kitchen situation, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Cheating? I'm not cheating, these are just normal methods!" Lingyun said with a straight face.

With dozens of Lingyuns working together, the speed of cooking was naturally lightning-fast. Before long, a large table of food was ready.

"Mmm, this meat is so delicious!" Once at the dining table, Akame's chopsticks launched an attack on the meat placed in the center of the table.

"As expected of food made by Lingyun himself, it really is extraordinary!" Chen Jing also nodded.

"This is a culinary skill that Brother practiced for a very long time to master!" Ruoxi said with a chicken wing in her mouth, somewhat indistinctly. "Wah wah wah, Xiaona, don't steal my chicken wing!"

"That won't do, Brother made this for everyone to share, not just for you alone!" Xiaona was quick-witted and fast-handed; in an instant, she snatched three chicken wings from the plate and placed them into the bowls of herself, Xia Shi, and Tina.

"I never thought Ruoxi was such a glutton too!" Chen Jing also fished a chicken wing from the plate.

"Sister, sister, this little cake is delicious!" Kurome handed a small cake to Akame.

Akame took the cake Kurome handed her and muttered, "Don't eat so many sweets!"

"No way, sweets are the most important thing to me, besides Lingyun and Sister!" Kurome hugged the bag containing the cake tightly and said with a dazed, cute expression.

……

Looking at the somewhat chaotic but harmonious dining table, a smile appeared on Lingyun's face; this was the situation he wanted to see most.

Night fell quietly. Lingyun stood alone in front of the window, looking down at Lingyun Town below.

"Brother, calculating the time, we are about ready to leave here, right!" Ruoxi's figure appeared in Lingyun's arms.

"That's right, it's about time to leave here." Lingyun nodded. "Those children have all signed the Cloud Realm Contract with you, so we can take them with us when we go."

"By the way, Brother, the space gate between this world and the Cloud Realm has been constructed!" Ruoxi said. "In the future, if they want to come back to this world to take a look, they can also transfer through the space gate!"

"Come back? I think very few people will want to come back. After all, this world really doesn't hold any good memories for them!" Lingyun shook his head and said.

"What about Seitenshi? Do you have any arrangements for her?"

"Seitenshi, as a regional leader, she has already graduated from Chen Jing's tutelage. Without Tendo Kikunojo, her future path will inevitably have more hardships and obstacles, but now she has Satomi Rentaro by her side, who was raised as a politician since childhood, and he can help her out when necessary." Lingyun said. "In order to have a stable environment for development, the Shima family will inevitably provide help to Seitenshi in this regard."

"Aren't you worried that Shima Heavy Industries will become an existence like the Tendo family?" Ruoxi asked.

"No, the future heir of the Shima family, Shima Miori, is a smart person. She knows how to grasp the balance; the Tendo family is their cautionary tale! Moreover, the focus of the Shima family is on the business world; in the political arena, they will at most maintain a deterrent force. And don't forget, in this Tokyo Area, there is still Tendo Kisara!"

"Tendo Kisara? You really have arranged everything, haven't you!"

"Although Seitenshi is a somewhat naive and saintly little girl, I don't dislike people like that. I have left such a foundation for her; as for what level she can ultimately reach, that will depend on herself!"
